Overview
Classification
Congenital (Hereditary) Methemoglobinemia [1]
There are three main congenital conditions that lead to methemoglobinemia:
1. Cytochrome b5 reductase deficiency and pyruvate kinase deficiency
2. G6PD deficiency
3. Presence of abnormal hemoglobin (Hb M)
Acquired or Acute Methemoglobinemia [2]
The most common causes are different oxidant drugs, toxins and chemicals.
